We’re excited to welcome our opening band, The Sassanachs, a high-energy group with deep roots right here in Harvey County. With members hailing from Halstead, Newton, and Hesston, we’re proud to showcase this talented local group as they kick off the night at Rocket’s and Rails!
"The Sassanachs were started by the brothers Werner – John and Matt in 2016. Having had a successful run in their previous band, The Screaming Idiots, they decided to try it all again, but this time with an Irish twist. Along the way, they brought along Rich, Meg, Jon, Clint, and Joey to join them on this crazy journey. The band is based in Harvey County, with members of the band hailing from Halstead, Newton, and Hesston.
The Sassanachs are a high energy band with a heavy Irish influence. When you come to a show, you will be taken on a journey around the world with some polka, country, mariachi, and Ukrainian tunes mixed in. Even if you don’t recognize all of the tunes that the band plays, you will find yourself dancing, singing, and having an awesome time. "

We’re excited to welcome our main stage band, The Stolen Winnebagos, all the way from Kansas City!
A huge thank you to the incredible Sand Creek Summer Daze Festival Committee for graciously partnering with the City to bring this band to Rocket’s and Rails. Their continued support, collaboration, and commitment to community events help make celebrations like this possible.
"With two decades of experience playing together, they have entertained people at venues ranging from dive bars to amphitheaters. Over the years they have tried to differentiate themselves from the “typical” cover band experience by playing songs not normally done by cover bands, yet remaining upbeat and fun. Their diverse catalog includes a wide variety of songs from the 1950’s until today. It is not uncommon to hear classic rock, new wave, grunge, hip hop, punk, alternative, classic county, and modern rock in a single set of The Stolen Winnebagos. You never really know what to expect with this band….except that you will have a great time!"
